Meat Grinding Tips as Explained on The Martha Stewart Show

Cut meat into strips before grinding; this will prevent it from becoming pasty. Place meat in freezer until chilled, approximately 4 minutes.

Remove chilled strips from the freezer. Using a KitchenAid mixer fitted with a meat grinder attachment with the large hole plate, feed meat strips through, being sure to alternate cuts. Let the worm grab each strip (on speed 2), and after it passes through the grinder, gently toss the ground meat with your hands to distribute the fat evenly.
